Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Did outgoing (forced out) Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger not accuse the Democrats of doing something similar with MAGA? That worked out great for them...

If we say, for the sake of argument, that this is what the main Irish parties are doing, they must know by now that this would be an incredibly risky strategy.

Polling has consistently shown that 75-80% of people think our approach to immigration is wrong .

There is also the fact that excessive immigration to Ireland is contributing to alot of other problems that impact people on a day to day basis, for example it contributes to the cost of living crisis by increasing demand and cost of housing.

It's not having a huge impact, there's twenty odd thousand asylum seekers in the country. Anybody else is either European or on a work visa and obviously needed.

There was expected to be a government shutdown on March 14th - until 10 Democrats sh*t the bed and agreed to back a Republican-spending bill.

If the Dems get in next time they should go full scorched earth on these maga lads

The McGregor thing is so embarrassing, in retaliation we should get some famous American buffoon to visit us and parade him around like some dumb American stereotype. Hed have to be dumb, fat, crass and outrageously obtuse and overconfident......oh wait a minute.

I watched a video the other day about the 80's series "V". The original concept was for an authoritarian regime taking over America based on the 1935 book "It can't happen here" by Sinclair Lewis.

Given the cold war the networks didn't want to show a program of a divided America so they came up with the concept of an alien invasion with the creator of the show.

It's funny how the leader of the aliens in the show even looks like Trump 🙂

At least in the show the humans were fighting back against the authoritarian regime. The damp squib that is the Democrats are showing no opposition to any of this.

He’s well able to talk in front of an audience when he’s abusing someone, but turns into a stammering simp if he has to say anything of substance (pun not intended, heh).

Cherry picking one questionable deportation that suits you is what this amounts to… Palestinian protester with a green card and no actual crime to his name also being deported.. But I'm sure you'll praise that too...

Meanwhile a good sidestep of the fact he gave prominence to a rapist yesterday by having him visit the white house. He also intervened in the case of the Tate brothers who are sex traffickers resulting in them getting back to the US. In any normal democracy, either of those would be a national scandal… That's only a random selection of his antics lately.

Except a poster downplaying trumps convictions and then complaining they are being perceived incorrectly as a trump supporter doesn't have anything to do with other voters considering it disqualifying or not.

What ramifications is Trump going to suffer 'for the rest of his life' Manic?

Doesn't seem to be suffering any to me.

Would be of interest to know the number of accommodation units used by immigrants would be suitable for accommodation for the 14000 odd thousand that are registered as homeless? Are a lot of the immigrants housed in converted buildings and suchlike and housed in areas where Irish people would not be willing to move to. If this is substantially the case it would be disappointing to be blaming the immigrants for contributing significantly to our housing problem

To do what, show the kids how to throw a few jabs, how to handle the girls in the class, to deliver sandwiches, fix a leaking pipe , as a student or what?

I assume that the Demo ‘back room team’ are planning a strategy re the next mid term and presidential elections. So TIMING is very important. Is there any point in SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS now when it will ALL BE FORGOTTON by the time the elections come around.? Americans are said to have a very short attention span
